Welcome to Year 6!
Year 6 Term 1
We are so excited to kick off a new academic year with this lovely cohort in our newly renovated Y6 block! Come and have a peep if you haven't already...
In English, we started the year with a visitor from the Child of Hope school, where we received letters from the children. It was really exciting to meet our new pen pals, so we kicked off the year by writing letters back. We are now starting our new text: The Crossover graphic novel by Kwame Alexander. We immersed in the text by answering riddles, predicting what we think the book might be about, and getting the basketballs out. In addition, we designed our own basketball shoe for a Bristol team and used descriptive language to describe it.
In maths, we began the year with a shape topic, improving our protractor skills and refreshing our memories on the different angles. We will be moving on to place value for our next topic.
In spelling, we are revising the Y5 key spellings.
Our topic this term is a new one where we are learning all about the history of the civil right movement in Britain. We started off last week defining civil rights vs human rights and this week we looked at the abolition of slavery.
We are swimming on a Monday afternoon and have Bristol Sport teaching us basketball on a Friday afternoon.
Miss Cameron and Miss Price's PPA is covered by Miss Fletcher, who teaches science (we are looking at the circulatory system this term), and Mrs H who teaches Art.
